Is there a way to create a new AS project with Kotlin Gradle not Groovy?

[Ash]

It is a pain that every time start a new project have to hand code the transition from Groovy to Kotlin in the Gradle files

Kotlin multiplatform project start as kts. You could probably start a kmm project and just remove everything but android ;)

[Ash]

But no way to tell AS to build the kts file from the beginning ???

Create your custom template in github for example

[Javier]

intellij has support for kts too but not sure about android projects via intellij, I am not using templates and I am creating manually kts files for years

[Ash]

🙏🏽 @Javier Yes. But this is for a class and want to tech without using a Git repo to start. And want to teach Kotlin not Groovy :-)

[Ash]

OK. The class now starts with a Git repo instead of AS ... hope in the future we can start with AS and generate a kts file ... Thanks everyone for the help 😀

I don't think I've ever used the IDE wizard to create a project, while I've created many by hand and a few by copy-paste, so IMO you'd be teaching real development that way…
